    Arizona State ParksPhoenix AZ (November 27, 2012) – As always, we are planning a multitude of activities for the holidays at State Parks. “First Day” hikes on January 1, 2013 are always popular and you can start booking them now so you can be out walking on New Year’s Day. We know taking your family for a holiday excursion can be daunting when you add up all the costs for meals and hotels. But did you ever think it was odd you were traveling somewhere else when your family from cold states always wants to come to warm Arizona for the holidays? This year why not have individual family groups rent RVs so you can all head out around the state for a week of camping in your State Parks?

    20121127 deadhorseranchDiscover the local cuisine, go on a wine-tasting party in the Verde Valley, or take fishing poles and spend the week catching bass and trout. You can stay in little cabins at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood, or just get a cot and tent to sleep comfortably while enjoying our hot showers and flush toilets. Take your golf clubs, binoculars, hiking boots and boats for experiences throughout the state. At one of our Lake Havasu area parks you can rent canoes and kayaks for a sightseeing tour around a lake, rent a wave runner or paddleboard, or simply boat and fish on the water. During your time on the lake you can take a jet boating excursion up the Topock Gorge or head on down to the London Bridge in your boat for dinner.

    Hey Papi
    Happy Father’s Day Papi!

    How’s it going up there in heaven? It’s Father’s Day here on Earth, and I’m thinking of you—missing you—now that I’m one year older than you were when you passed away. I just want to thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me walk when I couldn’t walk. Thank you for making me strong against all adversity. Thank you for teaching me how to look behind the scenes and see what’s not being shown.
